Speed up Acrobat Reader 8

When Acrobat Reader's version getting up, the speed to launch it is getting slower. Although we have some ways to speed it up, why the developers in Adobe can't think it over?

Ok, let's talk about the way about Adobe Reader 8's excruciatingly slow load time. Just remove the "accessability.api" file.

Go to your %Program Files%\Adobe\Reader 8.0\reader\plug_ins folder, and rename or delete the 'accessability.api' file.

Works too on MacOS. Just move /Applications/Adobe Reader 8/Adobe Reader.app/Contents/Plug-ins/Accessibility.acroplugin somewhere else (renaming or even deleting should do the same trick)
This at least speeds up application start-up quite a bit.
